This book discusses how civil society, public debate and freedom of
speech affect the management of natural resources. Drawing on the
work of Robert Dahl, Jurgen Habermas and Robert Putnam, the book
introduces the concept of public brainpower. Good governance of
natural resources requires fertile public debate - to conceive new
institutions, to provide checks and balances on existing
institutions and to ensure their continuous dynamic evolution as
the needs of society change. The book explores the strengths and
weaknesses of these ideas through case studies of 18 oil and
gas-producing countries: Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Canada,
Colombia, Egypt, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Libya, the Netherlands, Nigeria,
Norway, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the UK and Venezuela.
The concluding chapter presents 10 tenets on how states can
maximize their public brainpower, as well as a ranking of how well
33 resource-rich countries have succeeded in doing so. Four of the
chapters - 'Introduction', 'Norway', 'Kazakhstan' and 'Russia' -
are available under a CC BY 4.0 Open Access license at
